OUR READERS WRITE plea for help Nov Editor I have a brief Inter to write partly concerning the partly concerning the boys of The boys club at the yet the only thine for younger boys at the I have attended this club and find it very enjoyable However there is obviously shortage of volunteer supervisors which often limits games which mafic boys lose interest If you you could volunteer for a or I sure myself and all the other attendants would very grateful to you Yours truly A year old member Trigonometry Wigonometry such angles Georgetown Ontario Byron Street November lft71 Dear Mr Editor Aln It true Our educational system is as uptodate as any In the world Thb despite the platinumplated payments we have to make through taxes to support the super salaries of the executives and the highpriced in ultra buildings One course that intrigues me is the study of trigonometry which deals with angles Now our hair stylists have inaugurated courses in which will put their customers RIGHT ON TOP How that for an angle Yours truly Ed A Peters Should be conserving electricity Dear Sir It is the ever increasing use of electrical power by modern man that is causing the need for the much discussed HO mile Ioiil bill foot wide and 110 foot volt line proposed by Ontario Hydro It is a known fact that in order to produce electric current some type of fuel be burned If coal is used air pollution the earth of fossil is limited and the demand for electrical power seemingly inexhaustible there is research in to the use of Atomic reactors to produce energy However atomic energy produces as a by product heated water which raises lake temperatures and therefore upseti the ecology and also danger of radioactivity In spite of the above facta the Hydro Commission still ur people to use more and more electrical power The contest in the sprint offering prize for the household which used the number of electrical was an affront to anyone interested in the future of this planet Rather than Increasing our use of tncity should be making every effort to conserve electrical power not using unnecessary thereby reducing the need for more and hydro plants and monstrous hydro lines Hydro Commission latest contest is a prize for the three best decorated houses at time May I surest that you think before you increase hydro bill by stringing up mure lights Instead decorate by planting a live tree and string it suet balls for the birds a bird feeder by the window for winter lone enjoyment Make a Santa for front door from scraps of paper and eardbonrd you find around the house I md old sleigh paint it and fill with brightly colored boxes Make a wreath or a felt stocking for your front door or bells the possibilities are endless and promise to be much more fun and rewarding than lights You may not win Hydro s prize but then ire yon willing to pay their price Yours truly Mrs Ben Case defends his case Dear Sir There would appear to be two schools of thought in respect to the of the Indian words and to which we might add My old friend K C I has token up the cudgels on behalf of the generally accepted version of the first two words as set out in his letter in Issue of Nov 10 am sure he will take no offence if I go to some length in making out the cose for the opposite school My attention was first called to the other version in reading Mrs Hazel Mathews excellent history entitled Oak ville and the Sixteen It was her great grandfather William who founded in On page we read The Indian name is given to a list of rivers and creeks flowing Into lake Ontario compiled by the early surveyor Augustus Jones The original list written in 1796 is now in the SurveyorGeneral Office Toronto and they have been good enough to give me a photostatic copy Mrs Mathews suites I have been Indebted to the historian Percy J Robinson for calling my attention to this list The following wording refers only to the creeks and rivers in our immediate neigh borhood hirst arc the names then the I names and last the explanation Pirn me Burlington Bay Creek running through the sand sink Mile Creek north shore- Last out creek 16 from Burlington Bay Having two outlets sin heRiver Credit Trusting Creek Credit A Black Aider Creek Co bee he their canoes and go bock It would appear that sink would be the lost creek encountered in proceeding along the north shore to the head of the lake Grindstone Creek which flows through is not mentioned as it empties into the west end of Burlington Bay which is shut off from Lake Ontario by Burlington Beach The fact that the list also shows a creek named sink on the other aide of the lake as last out creek for those proceeding along the south shore to the head of the lake would bear out this meaning Augustus Jones did a great deal of the surveying in Simcoe day He ran the fine of Street up to Holland Landing Dundas Street and the Governor s Road from to the Grand River He also mapped out York County and ran a line due north west from the outlet of Burlington Bay to an earlier purchase of lands the Indians This line is now the boundary between and counties Mrs Mathews writes Augustus Jones was married to the daughter of a Mississauga chief and was familiar with the Mlssissaucn language As his survey work remains today exactly as he mapped it out we can be reasonably sure that he was meticulously accurate and that his wording is correct Mrs Mathews states that As the interior of the present Halton and Peel was unexplored in 1796 merely the outlets arc indicated Robinson points out that means outlet and appears in such modern names as Nassagaweya and to which we might add Now we come to when the land in the upper part of and Peel was being surveyed after its purchase from the Misstssaugas in The 1 1 Governor wrote on April to the Surveyor General instructing him as to the naming of the three new townships as follows To the western township in rear of Nelson that of Nasogiweya to the centre in And to the eastern township in rear of Toronto that of Chinguacousy Being the Indian names of the principal rivers in each respectively Mrs Mathews writes Page Giving name of the centre township the name for the Twelve Mile Creek appears to have been in error as no branches of this river flow through Esquesing township Similarly the names for the easterly creek Sixteen Mile and the westerly township are reversed It is just possible that some of that cheap whisky at a York shilling a gallon that C refers to may have been a con tributing factor to this mistake in the nor office As for this would appear to be earlier Indian name for the Credit meaning according to G H Armstrong in his book The Origin and Meaning of Place Names in Canada I on Page Where Young Pines Grow and on page 73 A Pinery In her book Winter Studies and Summer Rambles anna Jameson who went by wagon to Detroit in and by steamer to Sault Mane writes Page The chief of this Chippewa village is named Slunguacouse the Little Pine but he chooses to drop the adjunct and calls himself the Pine the name Mes sin he which Mr Jones gives to the Credit came with the fur traders who would grubstake the Indians in advance for their season catch With these lengthy remarks I rest my case I trust that the foregoing evidence in respect to the Indian translations and the naming of the townships will appear convincing and make some converts to this other school and particularly to Mr Lindsay who but for a clerical error might have been bom and raised in a township named a instead of Esquesing Yours respectfully Ben Case Wed Dcce be Urge jail replacement be given top priority Top priority should be given to replacing the centuryold Halton County Jail in Milton This was the recommendation the grand Jury presented to Judge Alan B at the General Sessions after inspecting the last week Hie seven man jury urged that a new jail be built which would be located centrally to the population it serves to allow for easy visitntion and job opportunities for inmates Support super Superintendent and his staff were commended by the Jury for their efficient and humane methods in maintaining the jail The jury strongly supported the superintendents requests for screens on windows to keep out insects radio and speaker system to pipe programs into the corridors a second outdoor recreational period each day mid the installation of lights in each cell for reading at night The jury also agreed with Mr Rendles practice of not using the hole for incorrigible prisoners but rather separating them in corridor by themselves llie issue of suppling new mattresses for cell bunks and backs for benches in the corridors was strongly endorsed Awards night at Sheridan An Acton resident who attends the Brampton Campus of Sheridan College
